As it says in this announcement VV:Origins is based on VV1.

We generally don't talk about future development plans, since they are often very fluid and change frequently. That's also the reason that we typically don't announce release dates until our games are well into beta testing.

The Previews area on the main LDW website is one of the official pages to see what's coming next. The main website also has links to all of our games.

Alternately, you can check our page on Facebook for updates, or even Twitter. You can see Facebook to the left of the forums, and Twitter is on the bottom right if you prefer to stay on the forums!
